#1 New York Times bestselling
author Susan Wiggs returns to sun-drenched Bella Vista,
where the land's bounty yields a rich harvest…and family
secrets that have long been buried

Isabel Johansen, a celebrated chef who grew up in the
enchanting Sonoma town of Archangel, is transforming her
childhood home into a destination cooking school—a unique
place for other dreamers to come and learn the culinary
arts. Bella Vista's rambling mission-style hacienda, with
its working apple orchards, bountiful gardens and beehives,
is the idyllic venue for Isabel's project…and the perfect
place for her to forget the past.

But Isabel's carefully ordered plans begin to go awry when
swaggering, war-torn journalist Cormac O'Neill arrives to
dig up old history. He's always been better at exposing the
lives of others than showing his own closely guarded heart,
but the pleasures of small-town life and the searing
sensuality of Isabel's kitchen coax him into revealing a few
truths of his own.
